"Before any modern man talks with authority about loving men, I insist that he shall always be very much pleased when his barber tries to talk to him. His barber is humanity: let him love that. If he is not pleased at this, I will not accept any substitute in the way of interest in the Congo or the future of Japan. If a man cannot love his barber whom he has seen, how shall he love the Japanese whom he has not seen?"

The essay "In Topsy Turvy Land" is an excellent brief commentary on modern life and commercialism.
"The man does not say as he ought to have said, "Should married men endure being modern shop assistants?""

Love Chesterton's essays. Once in a while I want to give him a thump for being blinded by his times, but most of the time I think he's got 20-20 vision and is saying things as pertinent today as they were when he said them. Although he can admittedly get overclever in how he says them.

Haven't read this one. Looking forward to your review.
